Headline:
State Department Spent $52,701 on Curtains for Nikki Haley’s Residence

So Haley is being extravagant on the taxpayer dime?

That is what the article implies. Complete with an upset Obama administration official


BUT....
#Fake news

Turns out that it was all done by the Obama admin. What involvement did Mr Bruen have?

So these were being ordered for Hillary's ambassador?

so typical
even CNN is walking it back now
modus operandi  - put out misleading statement, get called out
ten hours later bury a correction in a reprinted article......
no wonder no-one trusts them

so typical
even TRUMP won't walk it back now
modus operandi  - put out misleading statement, get called out
ten hours later double down on it......
no wonder no-one trusts him

FTFY

[aygart]

He had no chance with a trial. This investigation is racking up the convictions like crazy!!! How many more witches out there? 

It remains a witch hunt until it gets something on collusion. There is no need for a special counsel bogging down the government to tax evasion. That is only relevant to their ability to get people to cooperate.

Stop with the Hannity nonsense. Collusion is a tenth of his mandate. This is one of the most successful investigations ever!!!

This is more Maddow nonsense than anything even @ilherman has written is Hannity nonsense.

what was the other 9/10 of his mandate?

First lets get one thing straight. He has no "mandate" to investigate "collusion".
This is from the public letter. There are other things he is mandated to investigate but we are not privy to.
:any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump;
and any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation;
and any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).

[ChaimMoskowitz]

This is more Maddow nonsense than anything even @ilherman has written is Hannity nonsense.

How many convictions does he have so far? Don't let facts get in the way of your Hannity collusion nonsense.

So cullusion is only 10% because he is allowed to investigate other matters which arise out of it? That sounds too crazy even for Maddow!

[aygart]

I really don't care how many jaywalking convictions he has. That does not justify a SC. Maybe in the end he will find wrongdoing with Russia. If he does then it was justified.

key words . everything else  is pure nonsense.

Source?

[gingyguy]

Source?

Editors’ Note: September 14, 2018

An earlier version of this article and headline created an unfair impression about who was responsible for the purchase in question. While Nikki R. Haley is the current ambassador to the United Nations, the decision on leasing the ambassador’s residence and purchasing the curtains was made during the Obama administration, according to current and former officials. The article should not have focused on Ms. Haley, nor should a picture of her have been used. The article and headline have now been edited to reflect those concerns, and the picture has been removed.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

So cullusion is only 10% because he is allowed to investigate other matters which arise out of it? That sounds too crazy even for Maddow!

There is no mandate for "collision". Why do you keep repeating the Trump / Hannity / @ilherman #fakenews.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

I really don't care how many jaywalking convictions he has. That does not justify a SC. Maybe in the end he will find wrongdoing with Russia. If he does then it was justified.

Jaywalking? You are fast approaching @ilherman category!!!

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Source?

You forget the discussion we had before PM first trial where you said they were overreaching and the judge called them liars. Of course you and everyone else what to forget about that because you were all wrong. The 100% homer judge wanted the letter showing they were not overreaching. They produce it and despite ever effort by the 100% homer judge they got serious slam-dunk convictions.

Be a bit honest with yourself here.
That only shows that this can be included in "matters that arose" and not that there is any additional mandate, much less 9 times what we know.

[aygart]

You have gotten well past it in the other direction here. This is Alex Jones style.
Tax evasion still does not justify a SC.
